ETC: Roy Eastland
🕑 Added 2024-03-23 14:15:51 +0000 UTCIn this artist's talk, recorded from a live Zoom on the 22nd March 2024, I interviewed Roy Eastland about his work and his approaches to life drawing. In the video he introduces us to his silverpoint drawings before explaining how he approaches life drawing exercises exercises from short poses, drawing a parallel with the qualities that he looks for in longer poses and drawings made from portrait busts.

We have a whole series of 1-hour ETC talks on our YouTube Channel HERE, from our Art/Work series where we explored the working lives and career progressions of 6 very different artists to our broader ETC series of artist interviews. These talks are great if you are looking for a little inspiration, need to hear more about how other artists have navigated a career in the artist or if you want something to listen to while you draw!
